Such memristive devices are known to display abrupt set transitions (resistance decrease) that require current limitation because of the triggering of a threshold switching event. In this report, we demonstrate the gradual resistance decrease driven by trains of identical sub-threshold pulses. The experimental finding is explained by a compact model considering a gradual closure of the filament interruption and a following lateral filament growth.","PeriodicalId":159041,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Memristive Systems (MEMRISYS)","volume":"115 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124090618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another four mutators are needed in order to overcome the potential conflict of ideal sources if the same types are connected together. Overall eight kinds of modules are used. Their proper cascade connection can serve for emulating arbitrary elements from Chua's table.","PeriodicalId":159041,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Memristive Systems (MEMRISYS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127944300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the most promising candidates, memristor demonstrates advantageous characteristics, which open new pathways for the exploration of advanced computing paradigms. In this work we propose the design of a novel crossbar geometry, which is heterogeneous in terms of its cross-point devices, allowing for the realization of true in-memory digital logic computations. More specifically, it is a combination of two stacked crossbar arrays with a shared intermediate nanowire layer. The variety of available cross-points types allows the execution of parallel memristive logic computations, where the logic state variable is voltage. Moreover, the utilization of insulating patterns in the crossbar arrays, at the expense of a small area-overhead, permits the simultaneous parallel read/write memory operation of two memory words. Memory/logic operation is determined through control signals driven from the peripheral CMOS-based driving circuitry, which also comprises row/column decoders, tri-state drivers, and summing/sense amplifiers to allow for the proper programming/reading of the memristive cross-points.","PeriodicalId":159041,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Memristive Systems (MEMRISYS)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115218715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
